In the middle of the Mediterranean Sea between Sicily and the North African coast lies Malta, a tiny archipelago and independent nation abundant in history and culture. It was here that London based photographer Alex Fleming shot an exclusive photo series for IGNANT, juxtaposing architecture, portraiture, and luxury cars in tribute to a bygone era.
Malta’s warm climate, dazzling landscapes, architecture, and megalithic temples make it a striking place worth visiting. “It’s just a brilliantly beautiful place, rich in heritage and culture, with a unique event bringing together people from all over the world,” Fleming says. He is speaking of the Malta Classic, a multi-day event celebrating the vintage style of sought-after classic cars, held on the island annually. The photographer flew into Malta to capture the competition on his Pentax 67 analog camera; and in the story that follows, he paints a portrait of the experience dripping in intimate detail and observation.
